ELIZABETH MOREY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COMBINED ELECTRIC LAMP AND GENERATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,691, dated January 24, 1882.

Application tiled January 10,1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH MOREY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Electric Lamps andGenerators, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to furnish a portable electric lamp for domestic and business purposes, Wlllt'll is directly combined with its generator, so as not to be dependent upon a central station for the current, but which may be readily carried from place to place, being about the size of a common table-lam p.

The annexed drawing represents a vertical central section of my electric lamp and generator combined.

A designates the casing or stand of the lamp; G,thegenerator,andDitsmotivepower. On top of the stand A is mounted the electric burnerB, known as an electric vacuum-lamp, which furnishes the light by the incandescence of a pieceot' platinum or carbon interposed between the terminal wires of the electric circuit. The piece of carbon or platinum, whichever may be used,between the termini of the cir cuit-wires, is inclosed in a glass globe, B, which issuitably secured on top of the stand A.

Vertically below the glass globe and lightproducer a small dynamo-electric machine or current-generator, (l, is arranged inside of the stand A at its upper part. This machine consists essentially of field-magnets, which are rig- Y on the same principle as these.

, The vertical and centrally arranged shaft or spindle O of the dynamoelectric machine is guided in suitable bearings, and bears on its lower extremity a small pinion spur wheel,

which is one of a train ot' wheels in combinagenerator, and the lamp, a reliable compact and portable electriclamp adapted for domestic and other purposes is obtained without the use of a battery.

I claim as my invention l. In a portable electric lamp, the combinati on oi'a Siemens or other like electric generator,

a spring-actuated motor, and an intermediate spindle common to said motor and generator, all inclosed within the stand of the lamp, and a burner on top of the stand, substantially as described.

2. In a dynamo-electric lamp, the combination of a portable stand, an electric burner 10- caed at the top of the same, a spring-actuated motor at the base of the stand, a centrallyarranged vertical spindle actuated by said spring-motor, an armature connected to said spindle, a commutator also connected to said spindle, the field-magnets secured to the sides of the stand, the brushes, the posts of which are rigidly fixed to the inside of the stand, and the circuit-wires leading to the carbon arch in the vacuum-globe, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this 8th day of January, 1881.

ELIZABETH MOREY.
